A wonderful, thought-provoking, feel-good novel from exciting new talent Julia Clarke. Jade has always felt secure and loved - by her doting parents and by her best friend, Jack, who everyone assumes she'll marry one day. Things start to change when Jade embarks on a school project about the place where the family lived when she was a baby. Meeting old friends opens up old secrets, and Jade soon becomes aware that her parents and Jack are all keeping secrets from her. Both secrets turn out to be painful - her father is not really her father, and Jack cannot love her as more than a friend bacause he is gay - but the strength of their relationships help them all to come through these revelations and reach a happy, life-affirming end.
